ROMAN STATE TO HOLD
JANQUET ON MAY 19
Miss Lloyd Makes Announcements Concerning Last
Festivity of Romans.
Miss Lloyd has given us definite information about that
Roman State Banquet, about
which there has been so much
rumor. She says, "The banquet
will be May 19, from approximately 4:00 o'clock until—
well, prolonged indefinitely!"
Mrs. Craig in the lunch room
will serve, it. It wllW_e a Roman
three-course dinner with entertainment as the Romans had
it. We shall as nearly as possible observe Roman customs.
Mr. Buck and the five other
teachers outside the Latin department who are Roman citizens, will be honor guests. Mrs.
Craig says she will serve this
banquet for 50c a plate. We
must know soon how many we
shall have to take care __; so we
are asking all to think it over
and tell us next Wednesday if
they will be at the banquet.
The aediles are planning a
fine entertainment. Laura
Smith and Eugene Leedy are
the plebian aediles and Pauline
Ballweg and Octavia Green, the
senior.
Alvin H. Laughlin Loses Life
When Canoe Upsets in
*The River.
Albert J. Beveridge, Republican nominee for United States
Senator from Indiana, in an interview with a reporter of the
Monday Echo, last Friday, spoke of many subjects interesting
to Shortridge students.
Mr. Beveridge stated that he received his early education in
Sullivan, Illinois, and that vicinity. As it was necessary for him
to woik a great part of the time, he was forced to be absent
from school a great deal more*'
than he desired. However, even
though he was forced to be absent as much as two months at
a time, he always managed to
make up his work. History, Mr.
Beveridge stated, was his favorite study during both his grade
and high school careers.
When asked whether he would
advise a young man or woman
tb enter politics, Mr. Beveridge
said that in the strict sense of
the word a person could not
speak of entering American politics. In England or Canada Mr.
Beveridge explained a man
could remain in office for a comparatively great number of
years. In this instance he cited
the political career of Lloyd
George. However, in the American form of government, such
permanence is impossible.
Mr. Beveridge stated that he
did not believe a college education was necessary for a man
to attain prominence in public
life, although he believed it a
great asset. He stated that if
a man possessed the inherent
quality of greatness, he would
work out his destiny regardless
of opposing circumstances.
Last Saturday morning, Alvin
H. Laughlin, a prominent junior
and assistant in the*Rental Library, was drowned in White
River at Broad Ripple. He did
not know how to swim, and
this,, combined with his inability-co manage a canoe,* was the
cause of T?he tragedy. He reticently purchased a canoe and
at the time of his>j£eath, he was
trying it out. 'me wind was
strong and £here were no other
canoes on the river. The water

SHORTRIDGE LOSES
TO CONNERSVILLE IN
DUAL TRACK MEET
Winners Take First Place in
Ten Events—Myers Wins
High Jump.
Connersville proved too strong
for the tracksters of Shortridge, last Friday, and as a result, the locals came out on the
short end of a 75-24 score. Connersville grabbed first place in
every event except the high
jump, which Spencer Myers
captured for Shortridge.
The feature of the meet was
the running of the mile by
Flint, an all-state man. His
time was 4:48, which is rather
good time in high school competition.
Horrell of Connersville won
the quarter, after a spectacular
race with Kilgore and Luckett.
